If there is any contradiction between the detailed information linked to there and the information provided below, the former takes precedence.

If you choose to download products or to send us your submission, it is possible that cookies required for this process will be set up. To the best of our understanding, these cookies, if any, will be removed once the process is complete. If we discover that this is not the case, we will take all reasonable steps to make it so, and if it is not fully possible to do so, we will revise this Privacy Policy accordingly.

We are working on making this site dual-language, English and Hebrew. It is possible that other languages will be added in the future. There may be a cookie set up which saves your choice of language, so that when you return to the site, you will automatically see it in whichever language you were last using. (This feature is not yet active.) This cookie contains no personal data and does not expire.

The remaining paragraphs in this section discuss how cookies may be used in situations that we do not intend should ever arise, but just to be safe, we address them anyway.

As mentioned, visitors are not allowed to leave comments on posts. If, nonetheless, you somehow manage to leave a comment on our site, you may be offered the opportunity to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are intended by WordPress to be for your convenience, so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

The website is not intended to have a login page. If somehow you find one anyway, and try to use it, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you somehow succeed in logging in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks.

Embedded content from other websites

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We make every effort not to collect personal identifying information about you.

Anything in your submission that you send to us via Send us your thoughts will be associated with the nickname or alias that you provide, and it may be quoted, in News posts or otherwise, on this website or elsewhere.

How long we retain your data

Your upload data and your download data may be retained indefinitely. Without obligation, we prefer to retain your upload data and your download data for no longer than is necessary and to purge them from our retained data when they are no longer needed. Here, “necessary” means the information is needed for the maintenance and proper functioning of the website, to enable you to download products you have selected, to allow you to send your submission to us, or because we are required by law to retain it.

Any information that you send us via Send us your thoughts may be retained indefinitely. None of your personal identifying information is associated with this information; it is associated only with the nickname or alias that you provide.

We will make reasonable attempts to notify you, if we find that your personal identifying information has inadvertently been collected.

The remaining paragraphs in this section discuss how we treat your data if it is collected in situations that we do not intend should ever arise. Just to be safe, we address them anyway.

If you leave a comment (which should not be possible), the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. (If the website allowed visitor comments, this would be for the purpose of allowing us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.)

There is not supposed to be any way for users to register on our website. If nonetheless you find a way to do so, we also store the personal identifying information you provide in your user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

Since no personal identifying information is associated with information sent to us via Send us your thoughts, and therefore we have no way of knowing if a given submission is really yours or not, we are unable honor requests from you regarding your submission, including requests regarding your upload data.

Similarly, since no personal identifying information is collected during the download process, if you choose to download products, we are unable honor requests from you regarding your download data.

A few words about situations that we do not intend should ever arise: If you have an account on this site (which should not be possible), or have left comments (this also should not be possible), you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Information sent to us via Send us your thoughts may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
